Aren't a lot of what non-residents consider independant cities in the LA basin actually parts of the "City of Los Angeles"?

I haven't herd that term but there are lots of areas that are part of LA City like Hollywood, Van Nuys that people think are their own cities.

Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Torrance, West Hollywood, El Segundo for example are all Cities that are surrounded by City of L.A. but within LA county

The way these Cities within LA County provide basic infrastructure services can very greatly. Some have there own Police and Fire. Most have various level of Public Works (permitting, street lights, engineering, etc). Some the County provides more.

Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank even have their own electric companies for instance.

Alta Dena I think has a lot of LA County services.

LA county when it comes to basic service infrastructure is smaller in size that LA City and more spread out. Cause LA has the majority population and some large cities within LA County do a lot of stuff themselves.

By law I'm not allowed to practice beyond my expertise.

Read appropriate laws and comply. Extenuating circumstances may apply naturally and if needed hire an appropriate litigator to further your cause.

Depending on locality and jurisdictions you'll have to adhere to local laws, right ?

The animals are in the details. Retired from the development game but . . . Attorneys always enjoy litigation and the longer the better on their part.

In So Cal, major development litigation spans upwards of 20 plus years, County vs. County etc.

Unfortunately litigation is costly, time consuming and there is one winner not necessarily in the publics interest.

True. but these guys are just rebuilding. lot by lot. Not really a development where you are creating lots, changing land use, etc.

I've seen most of the homes actively wanting to rebuild in the Thomas fire were built in 4-5 years. Since then there are slow builds and stuff trading hands back and forth.

what's gonna be wild is to see what all they're gonna grandfather in. a lot of those houses in the palisades would never in a million years make code today. with the known and ever changing terra firma there, and new building codes as well as environmental laws it's going to be very interesting.

Same thing with the beach front ones, the Coastal Commission will have a field day with those trying to eliminate them all together.

It's a normal thing up there to buy a 3-4 million dollar place and knock it to the ground. Even if it was in good condition. So there's quite a few "newer" homes already up there. Lots of heavy remodels.

A friend in high school (one just east of Pali) said they would move to a different home in Bel Air once his mom was done completely remodeling it. Gave her something to do. His stepdad was a California Supreme Court Judge or something.

You never know, money talks and some may purchase multiple properties and merge parcels etc.
